Movie Review

Grade: B Here I am, sitting on an airplane. We're almost ready to land, but this has been a long and painful flight. For whatever reason, I feel like crap, and the turbulence doesn't help. I barely got through my T.G.I. Friday's club sandwich, and the flight attendants aren't coming around with nearly enough water. I'm also tired, and as I'm traveling east to west, the time zones are not in my favor. I also have to work tomorrow morning, and I expect I'll get about six hours of sleep if I'm lucky. At least I got to watch Hairspray, even though it did cost me two dollars for headphones I didn't need (shortly after purchasing said headphones, I found my old iPod headphones).
